---------------------------------------
> i think, the big problem when developing with JR is to manage the nodetypes.
> before we had the CND, you had to modify the custom nodetype.xml by
> hand. of course you can use the CND importer now, but it would be very
> handy, if the custom nodetypes would be written/read as CND as well.
clarification:
jackrabbit's internal persistent representation of the registered custom
node type definitions (<rep home>/nodetypes/custom_nodetypes.xml) is
an implementation detail and was never meant to be externally modified!
if you do so you risk corrupting your repository. this has been repeatedly
pointed out on the list.
btw: you wouldn't expect to be able to manually edit e.g. a tablespace file
of an oracle database...
since jackrabbit 1.0 you are able to register your node type definitions in
either xml or cnd format:
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api-1/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/nodetype/NodeTypeManagerImpl.html#registerNodeTypes(java.io.InputStream,%20java.lang.String)
> Make the CND files AUTOMATICALLY loaded from its natural place:
> /repository/nodetypes

> Key: JCR-771
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-771
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: nodetype
> Affects Versions: 1.2.2
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Wolf Benz
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.3
>
>
> Currently there is no AUTOMATIC support for the predefined custom node type
> files in CND format.
> They have to be loaded manually, same as the fact as for every getSession()
> the namespaces are to be registered...
> I think these 2 issues could best be solved together:
> It would be a tremendous improvement if we could just put the cnd file inside
> /repository/nodetypes. Such file starts by declaring the namepsaces anyway so
> it would also make the tedious NS registration redundant.
> Both are currenlty boilerplate code and lot of newcomers (like myself :-)
> struggle with it.
> For more info, please have a look at this thread on the JR maling list:
> "Namespaces - questions" (posted by myself)
